Are you getting stoked for the third Arcade Fire album? The followup to 2007’s Neon Bible drops August 3rd on Merge, and to tide you over, we suggest you check out the full performance of the band’s near-mythical 2007 appearance on Austin City Limits. Musically, the band is as tight as a drum; physically, they’re all over the place, bouncing around the stage like they’re on their fifteenth cup of coffee. It’s a transcendent performance from one of Canada’s most amazing bands.

If you weren’t already a a fan, you just might be converted.

Head on over to PBS to watch full Austin City Limits performances from Pearl Jam, Andrew Bird, Okkervil River, St. Vincent, and more.
